Celery

Celery is a crunchy, water-rich vegetable which can be eaten raw or cooked. A collection of long, thick, juicy stalks around a central, tender heart, celery ranges in colour from white to green – the darker its colour, the stronger its flavour. It has a very mildly bitter taste and a texture that’s both crisp and succulent.

Description

Health Benefits: 

  • Celery contains a plant compound called apigenin, which plays a role in traditional Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant agent.
  • Celery is also a good source of fibre, and studies suggested that people with a high fibre intake may have lower blood pressure than those on a low fibre diet.
  • With a low glycaemic index (GI) and a high fibre content, celery is useful for those who need to monitor their blood sugar levels. Studies also suggest it may be effective at reducing blood glucose levels.
